Melun, ancient family (or household)

1. The first of this household is Josselin I. by name, viscount of Melun, who reigned among the great lords in the court of kings Hugh Capet, and Robert. In 998, he gave the village of Noisy-le-Sec to the monastery of Saint-Maur-des-Fossez, where he took upon himself the monk's habit, and where he died March 19, (no year given: probably 998/999).

On February 26, 999 Josselin I De Melun's grandson Manasses supported by Eudes, Count of Chartres and the mayor of Melun took control claiming the important river castle and village. They did not hold it long. King Robert, along with Bouchard for Herve, laid siege in 999 and forced those fighting against hereditary rights to pay with their lives. The mayor and Eudes were hanged with many others, but there is no further mention of Manasses.
